Art Objects

The portfolio grouping of "Art Objects" comes from an exploration of mundane items represented in painting or sculpture reproductions. By drawing attention to these objects- a larger narrative is being addressed of arbitrary monetary value that we choose to follow in our everyday lives.

After COVID 19 many changes happened in my life, one of which was leaving my workplace of 8 years. During that time I was left to assess what I had of value, selling some items on eBay. Being back on the auction site I began to look up items that wouldn’t be considered of any value for most but a few individuals; having a very niche demand. I chose to start depicting these and related objects in paintings and sculptures to further highlight their duality of both importance and mundaneness- questioning if their image holds any value in of itself. Using the items as references has allowed me to process these ideas of scarcity, selective value, and resourcefulness.
